Summer Linguistic Holiday

MYL Summer Linguistic Holidays 2018

Welcome

Our Linguistic Holiday offers a range of residential and non-residential programmes both in the UK and France.

Our programmes aim to help children learn French through having fun and interacting with native leaders.

Language is best learnt through immersion and our programme provides your child or teenager an opportunity to:

Meet French native speakers

Create life time friendships and memories that will inspire their language learning experience.

Build practical life skills through our programme of fun activities in the French.

Increase their oral confidence through performing arts in French.

Whether your child is a total beginner in French or an advanced learner our activities provide opportunities to improve their confidence to speak through drama, role play and other practical workshops (Cooking, sports, film, art and outings).

Paris and Normandy Region

Our France Summer Camps will be hosted in Beauvais about 40km from Paris. The camp will consist of daily French lessons and workshops as well as travel across

Paris and the region of Normandy.

Our residential centre is set in the rich agricultural country side, close enough to the city of regular visits. Our staff will work with the young people to encourage French learning through indoor and outdoor workshops and activities. The young people will have the opportunity to make new friends from across the UK and those attending from Nigeria.

INFORMATION FOR CENTRE RESIDENTS

Our Priority for our residential visitors is a safe, friendly and cosy environment. We want to make everyone feel at home. This starts from the moment they wake up and continues until your child falls into an exhausted and happy sleep at the end of the day!

Sleeping

Our rooms are either single or double rooms and are allocated based on participants needs. Our commitment is that you have such an amazing day that you fall into an exhausted sleep at the end of the day.

Safety

Safety is always our number one priority and our staff are trained to place children’s safety above everything else.

We have our own safety system which includes the following:

All areas are safety checked before activities take place

Staff lock up every night

Staff undergo a rigorous training scheme before camp every year

Before camp, we carry out a suitability check against all staff. We use the Disclosure & Barring service (DBS) and the barred list to process these.

We have an experienced and qualified first aider on each site and possess our public liability insurance to cover all activities.
